The Effect of Electrical Stimulation Strength Training on Lower Limb Muscle Activation Characteristics During the Jump Smash Performance in Badminton Based on the EMS and EMG Senso... by Xinyu Lin, Yimin Hu, Yi Sheng

“…The results revealed that the EMS + strength condition significantly improved performance in both the jump smash and static squat jump, as compared to the baseline and strength-only conditions (<i>F</i> = 3.39, <i>p</i> = 0.042; <i>F</i> = 3.67, <i>p</i> = 0.033, respectively). Additionally, increased activation of the rectus femoris (RF) was observed in the EMS + strength condition, indicating improved muscle recruitment and synchronization, likely due to the activation of fast-twitch fibers. …”
